New Issue: HSBC sells $2.39 million autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium on indexes

By Taylor Fox

New York, Dec. 21 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $2.39 million of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium due Dec. 18, 2025 linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Dow Jones industrial average, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus an annualized call premium of 11.7% if each index closes at or above its initial level on any semiannual observation date after one year.

If the notes are not called, meaning the final level of at least one of the indexes is less than 75% of its initial level, the payout will be par unless any index has finished below its 75% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing index from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
